If you need an 22 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.920 update about Big Mike Well, he was complaining postgame the 23 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.719 big Golden State Warriors fan my cousin who I did 24 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:10.519 a show with. 25 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.760 Was that yesterday? I think it was yesterday. Days were 26 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:14.439 running together. 27 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.480 He came on to give Golden State Warriors perspective. He's 28 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.959 upset with Steve Kerr right now. He's pointing to this 29 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.480 game by Jonathan Kaminga and saying, why doesn't Kerr play 30 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.879 him more? This is a perfect example of that. Clippers 31 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.519 three and zero this season against the Golden State Warriors, 32 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.079 And maybe bigger than the victory is the fact that 33 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.519 it leads to the Clippers having the tiebreaker had to 34 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.799 head against the Golden State Warriors in the Pack div. 35 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.040 They only have one more game between them and Golden State, 36 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.920 so this could help keep Golden State below them in 37 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.840 the standings. We don't know what they could be up to. 38 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:53.959 Maybe they make a move, maybe they bring in Jimmy Butler. 39 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.000 I don't think they're giving up on this season. They're 40 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:03.439 fifteen and fifteen now. Still some good performances. A really 41 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.840 good third quarter by the Clippers where they played great 42 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.280 sound basketball, the antithesis of what we saw in the 43 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:11.919 fourth quarter. 44 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:13.639 First you have. 45 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:18.039 Zoo to DJ for a dunk, even though the past 46 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.680 was the Norman Powell. Then big Zoo spinning in the 47 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.360 paint for a dunk himself. In the third, Dereck Jones Jr. 48 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.759 The steal to the two handed dunk Zoo pushed past 49 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.840 the norm for a reverse layup. I mean they are 50 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.199 executing out there. Remember they were just up by I 51 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.439 want to say six at the half. It was a 52 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.199 score we forget, want to say, yeah, forty nine to 53 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:46.280 forty three. Dj Has one of the quickest Derreck Jones Jr. 54 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.120 Has one of the quickest second jumps I've seen since 55 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.479 Shawn Marion who coach Louke compared Trenton Flowers too recently. 56 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:59.000 But Dereck Jones Jr. His second jump crazy. He put 57 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.319 him up by ten in the third. That was their 58 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.400 largest lead at that point. It was fifty nine to 59 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.520 forty nine. And then the putback dunk he had with 60 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.560 the left hand. That's one of the best dunks of 61 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.639 the season by this Clippers team. Nasty airplane mode, lying 62 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.439 in just hovering in a holding pattern. It felt like 63 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.360 how long you're watching him in the air? Then done 64 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.560 clamped Dennis shrewder out of a time out and gets 65 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.360 a turnover hardened jumper. Clippers are up fifteen. They went 66 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.159 on a fourteen to three run. They were not done yet. Well, 67 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.919 Golden State started to battle back. Wigginson a jumper, Harden 68 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.639 to fall away kminga bucket. There'd be more of those. 69 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.560 Really nice defensive play by Norm to swipe the ball 70 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.520 out of bounds after a turnover where it looked like 71 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.159 Golden State was gonna have a two on one with 72 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.840 Pods getting an easy layup and Norm got back on 73 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.039 defense in time, but then Pods. 74 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:56.360 Had a floater. 75 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.319 They're back two, being up by just nine in the 76 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.439 third quarter of a Toomb three that was really a 77 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:07.639 big silencer shot that put the Clippers back up by twelve, 78 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.520 and good defense, multiple good defensive plays by Hard than 79 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.319 this one. He had a big block in the first half. 80 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.079 He had a play on Santos in the third quarter 81 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.720 who turned it over a big done three. He needs 82 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.240 that shot. Clippers are back up by fifteen to the third. 83 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.959 Then Hard blocks Pods, it turns into a jump ball. 84 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.759 Amr hits a three off a hard and pass. They're 85 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:33.600 up sixteen, but Toom long rebound off a hard miss 86 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.920 got the offensive board got its Norm pal he hits 87 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.199 a three. Clippers are up by nineteen. They got up 88 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.399 by as many as twenty one and heading into that 89 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.639 fourth quarter, yeah, it felt like. 90 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.160 They had a secure lead. 91 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.199 Given no Steph Curry, no Draymond Green gear up twenty one. 92 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.720 It's eighty one to sixty two. There should be nineteen there. 93 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.319 But they were up as many as twenty one. Third 94 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.600 quarter and the Clippers completely let out a sire leaf, 95 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:12.279 I think, and it was as uncomfortable as I have 96 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.839 seen a team when it comes to trying to break 97 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.839 a press in a fourth quarter. I think partly because 98 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.639 maybe just the ball handlers or lack thereof, partly because 99 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.879 of Golden State, and the third part was because the 100 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.120 Clippers were just flat out lazy with the basketball. I'm 101 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.879 gonna call it what it is. There were unforced errors, 102 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.240 there were passes that should have been made, and then 103 00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.000 other passes that should not have been made. That was 104 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.959 a miserable fourth quarter. I have to be honest about that. 105 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:49.360 You will take the win, But twelve turnovers in the 106 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.639 fourth quarter by my box score, it's somewhere between ten 107 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.120 and twelve in a quarter when you're trying to close 108 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.240 out a game. All they needed was one run to 109 00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.120 put them away, and they couldn't do it. And it 110 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:04.519 started the very first possession of the fourth where they 111 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.399 couldn't get out of the back court. There's about to 112 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.720 be an eight second violation. Coach Luke calls the time out. 113 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.560 He saw what was happening. He calls another one early 114 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:19.639 in the fourth quarter. Two timeouts right away. I think 115 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.560 he knew this was something they needed to work on 116 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:29.600 and they needed to focus on. Obviously, the guys weren't 117 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:34.240 able to execute. Whatever his message was that was nasty 118 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.160 that fourth quarter. I'm not gonna dwell on to the 119 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:43.759 point and say, yeah, it's still a victory. I'm not 120 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.920 gonna say it ruined the night or something like that. 121 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.040 I am gonna say other teams are gonna look at 122 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.079 this tape because it has happened at times in fourth 123 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.279 quarters late this season where the Clippers have had some 124 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.480 really bad turnovers. They've had a couple on inbounds passes 125 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.600 where they couldn't get the ball in or they threw 126 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.720 it away. Grayson Allen had that steal for Phoenix against them. 127 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.839 I remember, these are the little things that lead to 128 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.839 losses against good teams, because you're not gonna be up 129 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.879 twenty one if they just had Steph Curry tonight. You're 130 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.759 not up by twenty one, you're not up by nineteen. 131 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:25.160 Heading against the fourth Fortunately for the Clippers, Golden State 132 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.279 couldn't hit. They were seven of thirty eight from distance. 133 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.279 Clippers were ten to thirty two. They were bad too, 134 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.480 but Golden State shot eighteen percent from three. But what's 135 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.759 amazing is they got back into this game, obviously without 136 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:45.040 making threes. Their first three of the second half. I 137 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.079 want to say it was midway through the fourth quarter. 138 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.759 They were getting easy layups, they were back to gain 139 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.439 some offensive rebounds. Those were problems tonight for the Clippers, 140 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.000 especially in the first half. That's what kept Golden Sie 141 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.279 stayed in and I think they took nine or ten 142 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.839 more shots in the first half even though they were 143 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:10.000 shooting under forty percent from the field. So make no mistake, 144 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.480 I can't imagine coach lew Is happy even after a victory, 145 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.160 because that's how it has to be. It's not about 146 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.199 winning with style points. It's about playing the game the 147 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.519 right way. It's about running through the tape and continuing 148 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:33.480 to play hard, possession to possession. Clippers were fortunate in 149 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.519 some ways. I'm not saying they got away with one 150 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.279 because they're the ones that build up a twenty one 151 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:43.159 point lead. They earned that lead, They earned the ability 152 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.440 to play that poorly late and still come out with 153 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.240 a victory. But you don't want to see a team 154 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.919 back into a win like that. And what worries me 155 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:57.240 most is how other teams could be licking their chops 156 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.039 seeing the Clippers unravel and fall apart like that on 157 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.360 a full core press. Now you can take the other 158 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.480 side and say it's great, they got out of their 159 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.080 system now and coach lou has this tape to look at, 160 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:13.440 and so it gives them something to work on. That's 161 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:19.279 the upside and that's valid. I just felt like the 162 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:23.360 effort and the energy. There was some lifeless basketball being played, 163 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.639 some unseerious basketball in the fourth quarter, and we don't 164 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.200 normally say that about the Clippers. 165 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.080 Well, have a moment. 166 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.200 Let's pause ten seconds for station identification here on AM 167 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.080 five seventy LS Sports, this. 168 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:43.000 Is LA Clippers Basketball. AM five seventy KLAC Los Angeles, 169 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.759 ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station. 170 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.519 I think this is a great comment and we'll take 171 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.799 a time out here. Sheriff Og said, I am concerned 172 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.600 about Done being the second ball handler come playoffs, terrible 173 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.279 turnover star with him infected everyone else. 174 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:03.240 He had some. 175 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.440 Of those bad turnovers in the back court, like he 176 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.519 had late in that game against Minnesota where he threw 177 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.279 it right to Anthony Edwards. Dunn had a few instances 178 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.919 of that in the first half another in the second half. 179 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.480 I'm not picking on Chris Dunn, but he has to 180 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.799 be better. He had five turnovers, Hard had six, Norm 181 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.279 had four. Those guys cannot be turning the ball over 182 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.679 like that because those are the ones you rely on. 183 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:35.600 Now. 184 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.519 Without KPJ, they were missing an extra ball handler. Without 185 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:44.159 Terrence Man, you're missing one. But some of the Chris 186 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:48.399 Dunn turnovers were very much of the head scratcher variety. 187 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:53.240 And it's been a trend with him where he throws 188 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.320 into the opposition as he's getting the ball up into. 189 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:00.840 The front court. I don't like seeing that. 190 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.840 Some warning signs in this game, maybe, but it gives 191 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.000 the Clippers a chance to work on them while coming 192 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.240 through with the victory. Still, he threw it to Davis 193 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.480 for that dunk in the second quarter Trace Jackson. Davis 194 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.080 just threw it right to him, and I think the 195 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:23.679 book is out. This is why I still feel like, hey, 196 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.919 you're looking at the guy if you're watching on YouTube 197 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:28.679 or listening to the guy on a five seventy LA 198 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.039 Sports that has been telling you, I think they need 199 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.159 another playmaker. That's the priority over a four or backup big. 200 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:40.200 Here's why, guys exhibit A the game tonight. They need 201 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.799 another guy with on ball juice. We'll talk more about 202 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.519 that coming up. This is Clippers Talk. I'm out of 203 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.799 Maslin and you're listening to a five seventy LA Sports. 204 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.840 This is the LA Clippers Audio network, best. 205 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:57.639 Fans and best arena in the entire sport. 206 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.799 Take us with you wherever you are on the hard radio. 207 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:02.440 Back to Clippers basketball. 208 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:12.039 Clippers pull through after things got dicey, These got sketchy late. 209 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.639 It was a three point game with about three minutes left. 210 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.279 Slippers hold on. They win one oh two to ninety 211 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.639 two over the Golden State Warriors in a game where 212 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.840 they led by twenty one in by nineteen hanging into 213 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.960 the fourth quarter, and the Clippers had four points the 214 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.320 first five minutes of the fourth. We were looking at 215 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:37.919 a historically bad quarter. At one point, it was unbelievably bad. 216 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:48.120 So they come through, they get the win, but you 217 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.519 want to see better execution effort. I mean they had 218 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:57.240 four points, guys, they had four points in the fourth 219 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:05.039 quarter through till the four fifty four point thirty six mark, 220 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.360 so we're talking like five and a half minutes, and 221 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:14.440 they had scored four points and probably had already eight 222 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.559 turnovers up to that point. They would end up with 223 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:21.960 twelve turnovers in the fourth quarter. I'm not trying to 224 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:26.799 be overly critical. I'm talking about stuff that can get 225 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.240 you beat later on if you don't clean it up. 226 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.799 Now they have a chance to clean it up. They 227 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:40.440 can do that, and that is the positive. They looked 228 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.559 tired at times, they looked disinterested at times in the 229 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.399 fourth quarter, like oh, we're up nineteen Golden Stags's nef steph, 230 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.960 We're good, we can park the bus. Is that what 231 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.279 is called in soccer football? 232 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.320 Sit it on a lead. They did. They escaped. 233 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.399 They earned it because they got it by two one. 234 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.639 But you don't want to see a team almost give 235 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.000 it away. You don't want to see a team get 236 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.279 exposed for maybe having a real flaw like that against 237 00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:18.200 a full court press. I'm telling you I have been 238 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:23.200 talking about needing another ball handler as the number one 239 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.080 priority for a while. Ryan Stemen and I were talking 240 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.919 about it a couple of weeks ago. Everybody talks about 241 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.759 powerfulward backup center. No, I'm more concerned about not having 242 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:41.759 someone more surehanded with the basketball. I was hoping when 243 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.159 things got a little bit testy in the fourth quarter, 244 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.600 when there was some pushing in shoven. 245 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.360 Remember when they pushed it in shove. 246 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.519 It's the only love that that would light a fire 247 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.480 and bring the competitive intensity back out of the Clippers. 248 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.720 You had that play with pods flying it a mere 249 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.759 coffee's knees. It wasn't intentional, but it was dangerous. It 250 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:11.000 looked reckless. We called it the Draymond Green tribute on 251 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.879 the air, That's what it looked like. I thought that 252 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.679 might get more out of the Clippers, And look, part 253 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.279 of it was just beats. The zoobots was getting doubled. 254 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.080 They still should have got the ball to him more 255 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.840 because he was passing out of it all right, And 256 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.440 they finally did, and he was kind of that safety 257 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.559 valve release for them when they needed some buckets late, 258 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.159 when again they had four points almost six minutes in 259 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:41.799 to the fourth quarter, that's unbelievable. 260 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.480 That's historically bad. 261 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.080 So if you're wondering, why oh Adams being overly harsh 262 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:53.000 and just celebrate the wins like man, I'm looking ahead. 263 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:57.200 I am looking at future games. I am looking at 264 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:01.080 a team that is trying to build championship habits. That's 265 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:07.559 what I care about. So yeah, I'm gonna be overly 266 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.559 critical at times. When they win a ballgame and have 267 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:15.519 a fourth quarter like this, I can criticize and also 268 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.879 praise some of their work tonight. The third quarter was 269 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:25.879 damn near masterful, but the fourth was a disaster, a 270 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:33.240 disaster class. Yeah, if they traded for Calling Sexton, they 271 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:39.279 probably have to give up man. Man is an asset. 272 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:46.360 I don't want to see him go, but the Clippers 273 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.840 have to look at everything. I don't think anybody should 274 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.879 be off off the table in a year like this. 275 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.279 And now we get the news that Kawhi Leonard is 276 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:05.680 likely to be back depending on how the next week goes. 277 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.039 But the target date is in according to the Lot 278 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.640 Murray of the Athletic, they're targeting January fourth, the next 279 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:14.880 time they're back here, add into a dome and they're 280 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.759 taking on the Atlanta Hawks. 281 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:21.039 If there's no setback. 282 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.799 Between now and then, you would expect him to play. 283 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.240 He's not going on the road trip because they play 284 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.440 three and four, so they don't have time for practices, 285 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:31.680 so he's gonna stay back here and practice with the 286 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:37.160 G League team. Awesome, everything's trending the right way with 287 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:38.200 Kawhi Leonard right now. 288 00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:39.640 Great to hear. 289 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:44.599 Right nothing is set in stone because it depends on 290 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.119 how his knee responds to these next practices. But if 291 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.680 everything goes according to plan, according to Lotmuri of the Athletic, 292 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:55.079 he's playing January fourth, and he'll you on a minister restriction, 293 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:02.599 but that would be a side for sore eyes. Charles 294 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.240 is saying Sexton is too small. 295 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.599 He's six ' three. I understand. 296 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:16.480 That's not you know, five ten, he's he's not CP three. 297 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.240 Why did they call time out ten seconds into the 298 00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:25.880 fourth because Coach Lou said, oh, they're pressing and we're 299 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.440 not ready for it, and they're about to have an 300 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.559 eight second violation. That's a brilliant time out by coach 301 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:35.240 Lou to try to get their attention right away. Did 302 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.119 the guys execute No, But that's on them. 303 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:39.160 Coach Loo did everything. He could. 304 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.839 He told him how to break the press, Why would 305 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.880 they not call time out? Then they're trying this is 306 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.319 Coach Lou had the mindset and a sense of urgency 307 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.759 out there that hey, we're gonna keep playing the right 308 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:58.000 way through the end of this game. It wasn't oh, 309 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.960 I better hold onto this time out in cases down 310 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.720 to a three point game late. That's not how Coach 311 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.640 Lou was trying to play it. It shouldn't have come 312 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.960 down to that if the guys came out there and 313 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.400 played the right way and understood what the Golden State 314 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.240 Warriors were doing against them. But they didn't handle their 315 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.640 ball pressure well at all, and Coach Lou saw it 316 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.759 early and knew they had to do something about it. 317 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.960 That's on the players. You can only teach him so much. 318 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.720 Some of those turnovers, guys like had nothing to do 319 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:35.240 with Coach Lou think he's telling him make those terrible passes. So, yeah, 320 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.759 there's gonna be some accountability appreciation you Nick Ramos for 321 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:44.279 the super chat. Mobama is a liability, he says, so 322 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:45.599 he paid one ninety nine to. 323 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:47.440 Get that. 324 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.599 In all caps, Mobama does not looked good the last 325 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.799 two weeks at all I thought he looked good the 326 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.440 first two weeks back with the Clippers. Coach lu said, 327 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:58.640 A practiced yesterday. He's still learning, he's still getting up 328 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.720 to speed. He didn't plays so much early on the season, 329 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:06.599 but Mobamas looked bad the last two weeks, no doubt 330 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:07.000 about it. 331 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.920 I hope he can turn around. 332 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:10.920 I think he can because he looked good early on 333 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.000 when he first came in, like he was playing with 334 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:15.920 energy and motor when he first suited it up with 335 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:17.680 the Clippers the first couple of games. I really liked 336 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:20.519 what I saw. I said, Okay, he looks better than 337 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.880 Mason Plumbley. That's all I need. Somebody that plays better 338 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.720 than Mason Plumbley did last season. Ryan Rojas said Miller 339 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:31.039 lost his confidence. I agree Jordan Miller. I think he 340 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.480 is dealing with some confidence issues. He airballed to three 341 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.440 in this one. He turned down some shots and he 342 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:42.480 got ripped or had a turnover at the rim. Teams 343 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:44.559 are scheming for him now they know what his strengths are. 344 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.640 The scouting reports out. We'll take a quick time out. 345 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:54.440 I'm out a Maslin. Clippers win tonight by ten over 346 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.160 Golden State. 347 00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:58.559 This things got touched and go down the stretch, but. 348 00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.960 They pulled it through their eighth teen and thirteen on 349 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:04.799 the season without Kawhi Leonard. More Clippers sock next coming 350 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:11.039 up here on AM five seventy LA Sports. 351 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.519 This is the LA Clippers Audio Network. 352 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.920 Best fans in best arena in the entire sport. 353 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.039 Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio. 354 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:23.720 Back to Clippers basketball. 355 00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.759 Clippers win one O two to ninety two over the 356 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:36.440 Golden State Warriors. Third victory over Golden State this season. 357 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.920 First two were more impressive for a variety of reasons. 358 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.599 Steph Curry and Draymond played in those. And then the 359 00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.680 fourth quarter with the Clippers almost having a monumental collapse 360 00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:48.559 leading by nineteen heading into it and it was down 361 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.519 to a three point game with just minutes remaining. Huge 362 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.160 three pointer and made by Norman Powell, a big floater 363 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:58.640 from James Harden, some free throws. 364 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:01.240 To DJ. 365 00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.400 I almost say DeAndre Jordan because when I think of 366 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.599 alley oops, I think of Brandon Knight. 367 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:12.160 And Ralph Lawler are on the call. Derek Jones Jr. 368 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:14.640 With an aloop when the Clippers are actually able to 369 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:19.480 break the press. One out of I don't know fifteen times, 370 00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:28.680 welcome back in. I'm out of Maslin. It's Clippers Tuck. Yeah, 371 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:32.480 I'm looking for some postgame audio from coach Lou law 372 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:35.920 Murray has the same twelve fourth quarter turnover number that 373 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.480 I have. Two shot clock violations, guys like this was 374 00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:49.200 so brutal. I just I can't emphasize how poorly played 375 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:50.240 that fourth quarter was. 376 00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:51.400 I didn't even know what I was watching. 377 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:57.079 Tylu said postgame the Clippers have been working in practice 378 00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.839 on plays they run for Kawhi Leonard, so the team 379 00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:02.960 is up to speed when he comes back. Specifically mentioned 380 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:07.799 the team's new players getting used, getting used, getting used 381 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.160 to playing alongside him, new players getting used to playing 382 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.079 alongside Kawhi Leonard. I want to see if he has 383 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.279 any fire and brimstone for the way the Clippers entered 384 00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:20.400 this ball game, as we certainly have been talking about it. 385 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:27.079 What was up with pods? He was taking the wrath 386 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:30.799 of the wall, hearing into it. Tom, you guys were 387 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:37.720 killing Brandon Pozzimski. Was it just the foul, the hard 388 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.359 foul on a mere coffee? Was there something else that 389 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:43.359 happened that I missed because you guys were letting him 390 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:43.680 hear it. 391 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:46.440 And I'm here for it. 392 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.759 Impressive showing from Clipper Nation. The wall was loud once again. 393 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:58.720 I don't think there was any free chicken one. But 394 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.400 Golden State ended up instead of missing ten free throws 395 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.400 like last time, they cut that in half and only 396 00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:09.240 missed five. But Golden State, they're actually the worst free 397 00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.480 throw shooting team in the league, and this is the 398 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:16.200 toughest place to hit free throws at. Hear it into 399 00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:23.279 a dome thanks to Euclipper Nation. I understand not trying 400 00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:28.880 to be overly critical or pile on, but it is 401 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:32.119
